"Pumped Up Kicks"

"Action Flicks"

The Lyrics

Part of my "World Go Boom" self-challenge.

Holding guns in their handsThey're shooting up the room, that's the extent of their planThey're trashing the movie setThe lines from their mouths, can't be distinguishedFrom the explosions and the gunsI'll eat my popcorn watching all the exciting thingsIt made a crap-ton of bucksBut the critics poo-poo, give it one star or two

All the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, just boobs and gunsAll the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, not real entertainment

All the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, all bang, no buckAll the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, not real entertainment

I could watch these all dayThere's guys like Micheal Bay, keep me entertainedBut there's lots of hate for these guysFor Emmerich and others, flaming forums highThey say, I've got no taste, why?Action films are all bad, I should watch real cinemaGuess what, I watch the good stuff, yesBut I like to unwind with brainless popcorn flicks, yeah

All the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, not worth the bucksAll the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, anti-entertainment

All the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, big booms and gunsAll the film critics hate on action flicksThey think they're dumb, really dumb, I still like to watch 'em

Hi conq - good to see you still posting and keeping the Aussie flag waving - you should do one on Oz's 1-12-7 gold-silver-bronze medal count. And yes, I agree, those film critics are just way too harsh on mindless action films

Sorry I didn't see this one earlier TCOP, because it's great! I agree that certain action movie don't get the due credit they deserve, however others are just awful! Like Expendables, maybe one of the worst films I've ever seen. Still love this parody though!
